I was on the lookout for a new coffee shop to try since the one I had originally planned to go to was closed for today. I came across A Lot Coffee during my Google search and was drawn in by their unique menu items.
This coffee shop is located beside (the very busy) Garden Cafe so initially, it was a little difficult to locate - especially since their sign didn't stand out too much. Admittedly, the parking on this plaza is always very chaotic since it is busy but there it is both above ground and underground parking.
The coffee shop is a decent size and quite clean from a glance. I love their minimal decor which makes it very cute. They have their menu posted outside/through the window so you can take a peek before entering but they also have large tv screen menus inside as well for easy viewing. Service was short but friendly. We were thanked upon leaving as well.
Now on to the drinks...
I was feeling for some caffeine so I opted for the OREO LATTE. I love the aesthetic of this drink as we have a beautiful gradient - starting with some Oreo crumbs, then milk, espresso, chocolate whip cream, and finally, topped with mini Oreo cookies. Though it sounds indulgent, this beverage wasn't very heavy and also catered to the Asian tastebuds, being not too sweet.
If you're looking for a more unique beverage, they have a YUZU MATCHA LATTE WITH MILK FOAM which my mom ordered. The yuzu notes were evident but balanced well with the matcha. Overall, it was not too sweet so no adjustments needed to my made. The milk foam was a nice touch to contrast the texture of the latte itself. I was also pleased with the fact that there was no grainy texture from the matcha powder at all.
All in all, tasty drinks! I'd be interested to try their Tiramisu Latte with Milk Foam next.
They also have some bakery items to offer - I saw some canelés, croffles, and croissants.
Seating is available but limited - about five parties of two. But three of these are alongside a long bench so you could potentially seat more there. read more
